Moving Back To PHP

So we hit the WSO2 WSF/Ruby 1.0.0 release meeting the deadline in time without any problems. So now it is the time to wait for people to use it watching how they respond, and fix problems and improve functionality accordingly. Until that I m moving to the WSO2 WSF/PHP which already have a well-established community.

Few months ago before starting WSF/Ruby project, I did some simple things with WSF/PHP like writing demos and sample apps and now it is the time to go much deeper into that. In next few months I ll spend most of the time listening to the community, helping them, writing blogs, articles and most importantly writing demo applications to test our own code. This would be a big test for me, but I think I like doing that. Meanwhile I make sure I have some time to go into codegen JIRAs as well.

So hope to meet you in many blogs in future. Happy reading blogs!!

New Year Gift for Ruby Developers, The Brand New Web service Dev Kit

Finally WSO2 Web Service Framework for Ruby (known as WSF/Ruby) is reached the milestone 1.0.0. It took us only 3 months to hit this as it was based on well established code in WSO2 WSF/C which is proven to be embeddable and most importantly we had WSO2 WSF/PHP which make more easier to do the same thing with ruby.

In this extension the consumer is written using swig interfaces which does the talk between ruby and c languages, but the provider engine is completely written in C which provides the high performance required in an enterprise level applications.

4. WS-Reliable Messaging
5. The simple client and service APIs.
6. Interoperability with Java, C, .Net

And it has a really comprehensive guide and blogs which update the community with really interesting thoughts on web services on ruby. Ruby developers like to write internet programs in few lines of code. So they will find this is the product for them to write web service clients and services in their natural style.
